The Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks have been one and two in the NL Wild Card race throughout the summer and are holding on as we kick off the final month of the regular season. The Rockies, however, do seem vulnerable with questionable pitching as they try and hold on to their position. Arizona, on the other hand, had a huge series sweep against the Dodgers this past week, something no other team has been able to do. This series will be contested from Friday, September 1, 2017 through Sunday, September 3, 2017 at Coors Field in Denver.... 

This weekend we have yet another installment of the heating Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees rivalry. This rivalry has slowed some in recent years, but with both the Sox and Yanks pushing towards the postseason things have heated up again in 2017. So far, these teams have split their first 15 meetings with New York winning eight and tallying 11 more runs. This will be the last meeting between these two squads unless they matchup in October.... 

This series was supposed to kick off on Tuesday in Houston, but given the flooding because of Hurricane Harvey, the series will relocate to Tropicana Field—home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Houston Astros will remain the home team in the contests. The teams will continue playing despite the tragedy. Houston will look to avoid distraction as they take on the Rangers, a team that they went 4-15 against last year. They’re already 8-5 against them in 2017.... 

The Miami Marlins are playing as well as any team right now and making a run, putting themselves at least in the October conversation with a month to go in the regular season. Given the lead, the Fish will not catch the Washington Nationals in the NL East, but the Wild Card is now a remote possibility. To keep that hope alive, however, they’ll need to prove they can at least hold their own against the division leaders in a three-game set starting on Monday.... 

The Milwaukee Brewers’ nine-game swing through the NL West continues with a three-game weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After dropping two of three against the last-place Giants, taking on the first-place Dodgers is a tall order for a team struggling to stay relevant in the NL Central and NL Wild Card races. The Dodgers, on the other hand, are coasting and are already looking towards the postseason.... 

Both the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees remain in the thick of things in the convoluted AL Wild Card race. The Yankees sit three games up on everyone else while the Mariners are only a couple games back of the other spot. With how this season has gone and given the current standings, this series is crucial for both teams....

The Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians kicked off a four-game series on Monday night with the Tribe getting the victory. This is a rematch of last season’s ALDS with Cleveland reestablishing its dominance against the Sox early. The rest of the series should be an interesting test for both teams as they each are sitting atop their respective divisions and are now tasked with getting ready to make a postseason run. This series will be contested from Monday, August 21, 2017 through Thursday, August 24, 2017 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Both games on Wednesday and Thursday night will be broadcast on MLB Network for those outside the local television markets.... 

The Los Angeles Angels are tied with the Twins for the second Wild Card spot in the AL East while the Texas Rangers remain one of a handful of teams within striking distance, just a few games back. This series is one that could have major postseason implications with the Halos tried to go on a run and the Rangers looking to close the gap. This series will be contested from Monday, August 21, 2017 through Thursday, August 24, 2017 at Angels Stadium in Anaheim. The games on Tuesday and Wednesday will both been televised nationally on ESPN.... 

The most storied rivalry in sports—or at least in baseball, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will add yet another chapter to that story over the weekend in a three-game series at historic Fenway Park. The Yankees have gone 7-5 in their first 12 head-to-head games this season, but its Boston that holds the division lead over a slumping Bronx Bombers team. This series will be contested from Friday, August 18, 2017 through Sunday, August 20, 2017 at Fenway Park in Boston. The games on Friday and Saturday will each be broadcast on MLB Network for those outside the local viewing markets while Sunday’s game will be shown on TBS.... 

From Wild Card to one of the worst teams in baseball, the San Francisco Giants’ fall from grace has been fast. This team lacks any offense aside form Buster Posey and needs a ton more support in the bullpen. While the issues for Bruce Bochy’s squad are vast, they at least have one thing going for them: at least they’re not the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies have been baseball’s worst team this year with several key young players struggling, pushing the team’s window for contention even further into the distant future. This series will be contested from Thursday, August 17, 2017 through Sunday, August 20, 2017 at AT&T Park in San Francisco.... 

The Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers square off in a three-game series in Motor City beginning on Friday. It’s been since the 80s since either team captured a World Series Championship despite both being in the running for the last several years, winning their respective divisions before folding the playoffs. The Dodgers are poised for another run this year and are the favorites to win it all right now. The Tigers, meanwhile, have gone the other way. They were sellers at the deadline and are now looking several years into the future as they await several expiring contracts for their older players. This series will be contested from Friday, August 18, 2017 through Sunday, August 20, 2017 at Comerica Park in Detroit. Saturday’s showdown will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1.... 

The Washington Nationals may be the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ chances of a World Series berth though they’re currently riddled with injuries in the lineup. Nevertheless, they’re still sizable favorites on the road against a San Diego Padres team with a ton of holes throughout its roster....

This series was supposed to be a showcase of two of the best talents in the game: Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. Harper, however, injured his knee over the weekend. It isn’t a serious injury, but its serious enough to keep him out of this series. Instead, this brief two-game set will feature Trout and the Los Angeles Angels on one-side and an injury depleted Washington Nationals team on the other.... 

The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox will go head-to-head in a two-game set with both playing great baseball.

The Tampa Bay Rays are still in the AL Wild Card race. With the season winding down, every game is a big game, particularly against the teams like the Toronto Blue Jays who are wallowing in the cellar of the AL East. The Rays have a great pitching staff and plenty of power on offense that will be on display in this series north of the border. The season series between these two teams is split through the first 12 games. This series will be contested from Monday, August 14, 2017 through Thursday, August 17, 2017 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.... 

The annual Subway Series is upon us. When the season began, the New York Mets were expected to be in the playoff hunt while the New York Yankees were in rebuilding mode. Fast forward to the present and things have gone completely the other direction. This Yankees team has overachieved and are positioned for a postseason run. The Mets, meanwhile, have seen their lauded rotation crumble.

After a slow start to the season, the Cleveland Indians hold a strong lead in the AL Central race. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays come into this series as contenders as well, sitting in the thick of a tight AL Wild Card race. The Tribe took two of three when these teams met in Cleveland, the Rays will look to return the favor with a series win at the Trop.... 

The first two months of the season were tough for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but they’ve played better baseball since June and much of that can be attributed to Andrew McCutchen’s amazing turnaround. The stories of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Still, he and his band of misfits aren’t enough to play with the big boys in the NL. It’s been a similar story for the Toronto Blue Jays who will took to make a statement against the Pirates in a three-game set. The Jays were a contender heading into the year, but injuries and ineffectiveness from a number of key players have led to them pulling up the rear in the AL East.... 

The New York Yankees were one of the deadline winners on paper, but it’s the Boston Red Sox who have gone on a roll. As has become the norm, these two rivals are fighting it out atop the AL East standings. Boston is trying to run away with the division, but they’ll have to play better against the Yankees to do it. New York has won six of nine in the season series to date....
